RETAIL

The retail industry has never been as competitive and fragmented as it is today. The global economic downturn, information empowered consumers and increasing competitive pressures have created an atmosphere where the Retail C-suite has never been more accountable. From discount warehouse clubs to upscale specialty stores, corner convenience chains to mega e-commerce sites, buyers are better informed, less loyal, and highly cautious about discretionary spending. Organizations are striving to balance product, price and service sensitivities, while protecting margins, to ensure inventory availability while maintaining reduced carrying costs, and to deliver favourable Omni-channel experiences, while streamlining daily operations at all levels of the enterprise.
